Chapter 374
Chapter 374: WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?
THE mermaid show started with Miria’s beautiful aria. But it didn’t stop at the introduction. It continued on until Lauren and Astrid appeared in the pool. The story began there.
As Miria sang, Lauren and Astrid interpreted it by moving around the pool. Although Miria was singing without lyrics and doing it purely by A Capella, the message she wanted to convey still reached the audience. It’s not only because of the emotions filling the air as she sang, there was also the fact that Lauren and Astrid were perfectly interpreting every emotion as they moved in the pool.
As the audience understood it, the story the three were portraying was that of two mermen being star-crossed lovers and Miria was the narrator telling everything with her song. Of course, anyone could have a different interpretation. But the majority had the same idea.
Lauren kept on pining after Astrid as the latter swam around the pool. This showcased Lauren’s great acting skills. Despite being underwater, he could still show such deep emotions just by using his eyes. The same could be said for Astrid. The fact that he could move around the water like a real mythical sea creature while controlling the emotions on his face was evidence enough to prove that.
They danced around the pool. It seemed that their hands or their tails would touch one another at any time but every time they thought it would, it never did. It just added to the pining and longing that the two had been portraying.
The show ended with Miria’s last note and Lauren and Astrid floating away from each other.
Applause erupted from the audience watching this show live. It could be seen just how much they enjoyed the short show. As a matter of fact, they actually wanted for it to last longer.
…..
The same could be said for the audience watching the episode from their Terminals, projectors, or even their virtual pods.
The end of the episode was the hosts announcing the winner between the two teams. Once the winner was announced, it didn’t really come off as a surprise for the audience. Especially after that mermaid show. It’s like it’s already a given that team [The Sleeping God] should win.
Once this episode of [Fieldtrip] ended, the hashtag #Fieldtripmermaids trended in the hot trending topic of [Cyberspace] for an hour.

[Have you guys watched the latest episode of ? I can’t believe we will actually see Lauren as a mermaid!]
[Lauren, Miria, and Astrid are crazy! How can they all be so pretty?]
[Miria’s voice is so beautiful. She should try to do musicals. I think it would really suit her.]
[While I was watching the mermaid show, I felt like the demon king and Lord Aether were reincarnated as mermaids. But why didn’t they still have their happy ending???]
[True upstairs! If we can’t have Lord Aether and the demon king as end game, then the two mermaids should have a much happier love story! That’s justice!]
[But they really suit this concept, right? Maybe some film studio out there could produce a film about mermaids and cast the three for major roles.]
[This picture is legendary.] *attached photo of Astrid in merman costume*
[Does anyone know if Astrid already have a new work after ?]
[I don’t think so. Polaris hasn’t announced anything yet.]
[Aster just posted on his that he would appear on tomorrow night. Let’s all watch it!]
[No, but why isn’t anyone doubting the result of this team battle? It’s obvious that team has easier tasks compared to the other team.]
[Upstairs, please don’t affect our enjoyment.]
[That’s right. Who cares who won or lost? The important thing here is we enjoy talking about team more. Even if the other team won, we will still not talk about them.]
[That’s a bit harsh. But I agree. LOL.]
Similar comments appeared. Either praising the three members of team or just uselessly pulling aggro by posting hate comments. But there were some comments that weren’t related to the three.
For example;
[But where is Brother White? He would usually be joining in this conversation and fight the haters by now.]
[Maybe he’s busy and hasn’t yet watched .]

‘Brother White’ was currently still in the virtual pod and replaying the mermaid show. Because he was watching it in the virtual world, he felt like he was there himself. Aster, in his merman form, was just in front of him.
He wanted to stretch out his hand but he knew that all of these were just a bunch of data and he wouldn’t really be able to touch anything. But really, how could someone be this attractive? It’s like as long as Aster wanted it, he would be able to charm anyone. It’s a good thing that the other wasn’t in the habit of doing that.
He stared once again at Aster. Although the long dark blue wig was covering most of his naked upper body, there were still parts that couldn’t be covered and could be seen as he moved.
Wulfric’s first instinct when he saw that was to cover him up. But he knew that there’s literally nothing he could do. And then he suddenly realized that a lot of people must have seen this and even took a screenshot of it.
What if one of those people try to do something perverted to those screenshots? Just thinking about it, Wulfric already felt like he would go insane!
He took a deep breath because he knew nothing would come out of him worrying. It would just force him to do something drastic that Aster would surely hate. But damn, it’s really hard to control himself.
He suddenly missed the days when he could go crazy and not care about the consequence of his actions. But now, he had to think of a lot of things before he could do something. Although that’s only applicable when it came to things related to Aster. But still.
Wulfric stared at Aster’s image. “Really, just what did you do to me?”
